13 Reasons Why


I'm usually picky about the shows I watch and to be honest this one isn't a show I thought I would watch. I'm glad I decided to watch and most importantly I was wrong. This was different and as I finished watching the last minutes of season one, I realized what a profound affect it really had on me. 
 
Before I continue I've heard and seen a lot of mixed reviews on this Netflix original. I have had this post in my drafts unpublished, because I wasn't sure if I should right what I thought about it. I also understand that this is a sensitive topic to talk about, so if I offend anyone in anyway I apologize in advance. I would never intentionally disrespect anybody. This is just my thoughts about 13 reasons why. 
 
There are so many lessons in 13 Reasons Why and it's much deeper than any other show I've watched. That's because this is reality, it's real life. This happens to a lot of people and it's not really talked about like it should. Bullying and Suicide is a serious and important topic that needs to be discussed. I mean you hear people talk about this and you see people writing about it on the internet. But it's not enough. 
 
For those of you who have not seen 13 Reasons Why, I strongly recommend taking the time out to do so. I will summarize the basics, but I won't tell you more. It's thirteen episodes, hence the title. A girl named Hannah Baker commits suicide and throughout the season you find out: who, what, when, where, Why and how everything got to this point. 
 
There are so many people like Hannah Baker out there that need someone to talk to and they are crying out for help. Don't ignore them and don't ignore the signs. This show has taught me a lot and it made me reflect on my own high school experience and how I felt during my teenage years. 
 
If you haven't seen 13 reasons why, usually this is the time where I recommend this show to you but I can't. Not because the show was necessarily bad it was actually a good show. But I wouldn't want this to trigger someone's emotions whatever you may have gone through or if you still are. I do however think some scenes are difficult to handle if you can relate. 
 
This was suppose to be a review, but it ended up being something different. I honestly don't know what to really say, like I've said before there have been mixed reviews on this show but don't let that sway your opinion. If you feel comfortable watching then do it. If you're uncomfortable, don't feel pressured to watch.

  1. I have watched the show, but haven't read the book yet. And I have to agree with you, that the ending of this series really does leave an impression. It's not something you can just turn off and forget about. It followed me around for quite a bit, actually.
    The show really is confronting, handles so many difficult subjects and for that I'm - in a way - grateful. Nowadays there are still too many taboos and with this, I hope it was an extra push to get rid of those.

    I am curious about the book, though, and wonder if it will have the same impact on me or that "seeing" it, made it bigger, larger and more confrontational.

    As you said, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who might be triggered by any situations that occur in this series. It is extremely confronting.

    1. I probably should have read the book before watching the show. Then I could compare and understand more. I feel like this show made people talk more about this serious topic.

  2. I watched it when it first came out! I thought it was really well done. Yes, it is a hard topic to discuss, but this illustrates how small actions can lead to something that can change lives. Try to live everyday the best you can, and spread happiness and kindness to everyone you meet.

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...

Self Love Is So Important!

  Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are.    I use to think I was I wa...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

  Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit !     I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...
